Jake Wightman, Amy Hunt and Jazmin Sawyers are among a number of Brits at the World Indoor Tour Gold meeting on Sunday

Usually held in Boston, the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix will once again be temporarily relocated and held at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Staten Island, New York. There are a number of British athletes in action too on Sunday (Feb 6).

Jake Wightman, Andy Butchart and Tom Mortimer face a 3000m field that includes Adel Mechaal, the former European indoor champion at that distance from Spain, plus Luis Grijalva of Guatemala.

Lorraine Ugen and Jazmin Sawyers go in the long jump, while Erin Wallace is in the women's 1500m and Kyle Langford and Guy Learmonth in the men's 800m.

Issy Boffey, who looked strong in her season's opener in Manchester last month, faces Olympic finalist Natoya Goule in the women's 800m.

Amy Hunt tests herself over 300m after showing good early season form over 60m last month.

Elsewhere the men's 60m is one of the tastiest events with Omar McLeod, the 2016 Olympic sprint hurdles champion, taking on world 200m champion Noah Lyles. 

World 60m hurdles record-holder Grant Holloway, meanwhile, takes on Devon Allen in the sprint hurdles, while Trayvon Bromell goes in the 200m and Millrose Games 3000m winner Geordie Beamish is in the mile.

Another exciting event on the programme is the women's 3000m featuring Gabriela DeBues-Stafford, Emma Coburn and European indoor champion Amy-Eloise Markovc, plus fellow Brit Jenny Nesbitt.

Now in its 27th year, the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix has played host to nine world records and 16 American records.

The timetable and results can be found here.

For fans in the UK the meeting is streamed on the World Athletics YouTube page from 5-7pm GMT.
